Road Cycling Skills

Just got a road bike? Looking to take your cycling to the next level? Road Cycling Skills is the workshop to take! This two-hour course will briefly touch on your rights and responsibilities as a cyclist, and delve more into how to use your gears properly, pedal efficiently, ride in a group, and more. We’ll also cover how to ride ready with the right equipment – from nutrition to clipless pedals, and essential night-gear to long-distance riding. From the classroom we will move to practice drills on a secure course, focusing on hazard avoidance maneuvers like the Rock Dodge, Quick Stop, and Quick Turn. The workshop will culminate in a group ride around the neighborhood to put our skills to the test. We recommend taking this course in multiple locations, since each neighborhood presents different opportunities to learn! (Note: This course was previously under the name “Efficient Riding Skills.”)
